Paul T Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi all, looking at buying a sports car (weekend/track use) that fits in my tiny single garage and a 7-style car fits the bill. Obviously Westys have a good reputation and a fantastic enthusiast following so I’m keen to get involved. Not looking to buy new and I’m after something that I can work on with my son to teach him some mechanics so in the market for an unfinished project or cheap second-hand car (old/needs renovation maybe?). I’m a mechanical engineer by trade (time served) and so fixer-uppers, failed engines etc are not an issue. If anyone has any advice or knows of a car for sale that might fit the bill please let me know - I’m based in Warwickshire. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the other, is restricting the ability of non-members to post in certain sections of the Boardroom, even those on the one month trial membership. I hope you understand.
